the hotel is close to the railway station, a short walk away. friendly reception staff checked me in quickly. the foyer has a stylish design. the bedroom and bathroom were clean and updated daily!
the music in the common areas was loud. the breakfast area had a broken door to the kitchen that slammed frequently. there was a strong, overpowering scent sprayed in the lobby.
